Feed My Starving Children: MobilePack 2017 was an Amazing Success!

KMRD was recently a participant and Corporate Sponsor for the 2017 Central Bucks MobilePack. Kevin McPoyle served as the primary event organizer and was assisted by KMRD’s VP of Administration, Lisa Pascoe. Kevin mentioned, “I am so incredibly grateful to so many people for their enthusiasm, their faith in me to pull this off and for their support in coming alongside me to help.” Employees, friends and family members participated in the Corporate Challenge on Saturday – and for some good natured competition among businesses in the area to see who could pack the most meals.

This is the 5th annual event supported by KMRD and McPoyle. Feed My Starving Children is a 501(c) 3 with the express mission of ending world hunger. This was the largest community event held to date. The event spanned four days and required over 4,000 volunteers to join in the effort. It required 32 hours of sweat equity (16 x two hour shifts), and volunteers from many businesses, clubs, churches and other groups to pack a total of 1,088,640 meals. This many meals is just enough food to feed 2,982 starving, malnourished children a hot meal every day for a year.

The food represents a current and critical need as a result of the catastrophe resulting from the extreme hurricanes in 2017. In addition, 2,000 pounds of food was also collected to restock local food pantries.

While we are progressing in our fundraising efforts, we still need support in the way of donations. A single meal costs $0.22. Please help us feed another child and get closer to reaching our target goal for this charity. It’s a worthy cause and worth every penny and dollar.
